Dear ones, Mike blogging today.
The red blood cells seem to be holding their own after the transfusion, however, the white cells are not responding to the shots and coming back up. The platelets are misbehaving as well. But overall, the transfusion was an incredible blessing. I'm back at home now. We'll figure out the white cell and platelet problem somehow, with God's help.
So no chemo for a while with the white count so low. We did a CAT scan yesterday and got the very good results today: Liver lesions have decreased in size since last CAT scan between .2 and 1.0 centimetres (cm)in size--average reduction looks to be about .5cm. Spleen slightly enlarged, probably related to its role in cleaning old red blood cells out of the blood. Pancreas, adrenal, kidney, aorta, prostate, bladder, and gall bladder normal. Some lymph node swelling in the chest, hopefully from carrying away the toxins of dying cancer cells. They found what sounds like a minor problem in my L5/S1 back vertebrae --knocked somewhere between 0-25% out of position with maybe a hairline fracture. My back hasn't bothered me in a while, but it does on occasion and I've always suspected it was due to a bad fall I took off an obstacle at Ft Bragg. Nice to have it pin-pointed, and to know that it is likely minor and won't get worse. A fair amount of lung tissue scarring was noted on this one. Thyroid normal, esophagus/stomach unchanged, and another nodule in the lung disappeared!
Lord Jeshua thank You! By Your stripes we are healed. Because you are faithful, powerful, wise, the merciful, gracious Son of the living God! Please continue to Bless your unworthy servant and my family/friends.
